1. Cooking - gah! - HATE it!
2. Baking - LOVE it!
Check out these little beauties that fell into my basket at Asda yesterday....
Silicon cupcake cases! Oh yes! I have coveted similar beauties to these in Lakeland for a while but was loathe to pay the extortionate prices they charge. Imagine my joy when I clocked these in Asda for a mere 2 yes 2 quid for 12! I almost did a little jig in the aisle but managed to stop myself just in time :o) Check out the colours - how fab and funky are they? There were also some pastel shades but I preferred these ones.
Soooooo today me and the girlies just had to bake. Simplest recipe ever and oh so tasty....
6oz SR flour
6oz caster sugar
6oz butter
3 eggs
plus a splash of Madagascan vanilla essence.
Technically this makes 18 cupcakes but chez Jozza we like our cupcakes large so I make 12.
Chuck it all in a bowl and mix with electric hand mixer. There was a time when I used to hand beat all my cakes but my stoopid carpal tunnel hands won't let me any more :o( Stick them in the oven for around 15 mins at gas mark 4.
Embrace the beauty of the cupcake! Look how much they rose!!! Usually with paper cases they sag a little and flow over the sides but not with these cases. No siree! Silicon cases ROCK!!
Munch!
Chomp!
Slurp
Icing all gone yet Maddie?
Ok, imagine Churchill the dog saying this...
"Oh yes!"
